Hi,
This script is going some place darker later on
But the opening- just establishing the cruel world that
Hale and Doug thrown into.
In these scenes they are both kids on boarding school dealing with a vicious gang.
Please respond with critics or whatever you feel missing or overdoing. Thanks
It turns out they have more to deal with when they grow up.
EXT. THE WOODS - DAY.

a shallow river and a huge cliff upfront.
Doug stands still and breath in.
Hale does too.
Doug open his eyes and freeze.
HALE:

something is waving in the wind. a flag.
HALE: (CONT'D)
it's okey, let's go somewhere else.
Doug look frantically, above the cliff and back at the woods.
he put his old torn bag on the ground.
HALE: (CONT'D)
What are you doing?
DOUG:
if they are here, expect for trouble.
HALE:
Are you serious? you just saw the flag.
lets just go somewhere else.
Doug pacing aggressively towards the flag.
He reach and stomp on it, until it tucked deep into the soil.
